Of course, Laycock probably won't be coming cheap. In 2006-2007, he was paid $235,000, making him the second highest paid person on the UM faculty during that period. It stands to reason that UVA will offer him more. Your donations and Stafford dollars at work, we suppose.

Seems like Professor Laycock is greatly involved with the gay marriage debate. He published a book called Same Sex Marriage and Religious Liberty: Emerging Conflicts, and testified in favor of the Religious Liberty Protection Act of 1998. According to wikipedia, he believes that "it is desirable, and usually possible, to protect the liberty of same-sex couples and also protect the liberty of religious conservatives who do not wish to support or facilitate same-sex marriages."
